OK, Posters. Unfortunately, it looks like I need to step in and lock this thread since it is now turning into a debate over which user posts are a worse contradiction to the following community forum guideline:

4) Do not attack/slam/insult other users. The forums are here so that members can help support one another. Attacks or insults against each other takes away from the supportive atmosphere and will not be tolerated. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

ALL posts need to be mutually respectful, while allowing the debate of differing opinions.

We are trying our best not to over-moderate, but if a thread continues to get complaints, the value of keeping it active versus the amount of time spent by our volunteer moderators adjudicating complaints is considered, as well as the value of the content within the thread itself.

Thanks for understanding and please keep the spirit of mutual respect in mind on future postings. Please use the Report Post button and write your comments for a moderator to review instead of posting in the thread if you think another user is out of line.

Respectfully,
